Cummings is known as a revolutionary figure in this sport, particularly for his contribution in improving positions such as the heel hook, saddle (411) and ashi garami for submission grappling having won several important tournaments with this manoeuvre, more so in the ‘submission only’ rule-set. This includes wins at Polaris Jiu Jitsu Invitational and the Eddie Bravo Invitational (EBI).
